Since Earth Day is coming quick, April 22 for those that
don’t know, I thought it would be cool to show a few earth friendly gadgets.
The problem with a lot of electronics is when we’re done with them, we throw
them away. They end up in land fills, and a lot of the circuit boards and
components don’t break down. A company
call ATP says it doesn’t have to be
that way.
They are releasing the Earth Drive
or what they call “the world’s first bio-recyclable USB drive.” No word on price yet, but can you put a price
on a healthy planet?
At first glance, Philips’ Eco TV
($1400) looks like any other 42-inch LCD, but when you check out the specs, you
can see it’s a lil’ bit more.
Features:
· 75 watts of power consumption and 0.15 watts in
standby
·
Backlight dimming feature (not only saves power
but improves black levels and picture)
·
Made of lead free material, and contains only
trace levels of mercury
·
Comes in a box made of recycled materials
The last earth friendly toy I want
to show you is still a concept, but may be a reality in the near future. It’s the Dodge Zeo. The four-passenger sport wagon was designed
for not only the eco-conscious, but the speed freak as well.
Features:
·
All-electric, lithium-ion battery power motor
·
250 miles between charges
·
0-60 miles per hour in under six seconds
If you’d like to see what the next generation of muscle cars will be like,
look no further than the 2008 Dodge ZEO Concept.
That’s all I’ve got for now, but feel free to make request and let me know
what types of things you wanna see. And by the way, try to add a little green
to your life!
